selling your stuff on Amazon - part 5

Bella - yes, please take 24. Can you get your jiffys cheaper than 25p each on ebay?

I thought the Viking ones worked out a lot cheaper than 25p, especially if they are 3 for 2? Or is it just you don't want to buy in bulk?

Thanks very much FFM. I've since found out that the book was issued by two different publishers with the same ISDN. I emailed Amazon about this.
They replied
We aim to have the most accurate catalogue online and your help is
very much appreciated.

The easiest way to submit a correction to us is through our Online
Catalogue Update Form. The form is accessed via a link labelled
"Correct errors and omissions in this listing", located at the bottom
of the product information page of every book, music, DVD, and video
title on our site. Simply access the form, tick the corrections
needed, fill in any new information, and click to submit. Your request
should then be processed and online within five working days.


Clearly they admit there are sometimes errors in their catalogue.
I really appreciate all the help given here.

Thanks both, I haven't checked ebay in a while but it is the initial outlay/bulk that I don't want (well, I would be quite happy, but hubby says not to!! But thinking about it, don't normally listen to him, so not sure why I am doing now!!) Have never been sure what size to buy either, but have a bit more idea now. As I am sat in front of pc instead of tidying up our bombsite of a house (easily distracted!) perhaps I will have a nosy.

Reason I posted about poundstretcher was because someone else hadn't wanted to buy in bulk and just wanted small supply, I think. Or was it all just a dream...

I think it was me that asked about Poundstretcher, ours doesn't have padded envelopes. I ended up going for Viking as quite a few of my books for sale are big and I'm also pulling together stuff to put on ebay in the future. With two children to look after, I feel happier having the packaging here and ready as getting to the PO is easy but getting into town for envelopes can be trickier.

I have three Amazon sales from the weekend to post today! Just a few pounds each but Every Little Helps!(TM):rotfl:

Me again - DS is feeding loads today so I have loads of PC time (although have to type one-handed)! Viking have just emailed to say they are sending my MP3 player and apologising for the mix-up!

My local school produced an amazing cook book for their annual fete. It has sold hundreds in local shops. They was lucky enough to have people who work for Delia and another cook who both supplied material for the book.

We also have a local designer that designed and printed the books professionally. They do not have ISBNs as they are 'home grown' - is there any chance I could get Amazon to list these?

If you are a Pro-Merchant Seller you would be able to list these in your Amazon z-shop, but I have heard that very few sales are made for items listed in z-shops.

Alternatively, is it worth you getting an ISBN for your book? https://www.ISBN4Authors.com has some information.

Thanks for the advice, I'll speak to the producers, it may be worth getting an ISBN!

As for sales, I've been trying to get to 200 listings since starting on Amazon and just managed to do it today. I have sold at least 1 item every day, so am happy! Didnt think I would get a SDN today, but it just arrived - YAY!
